Use of Belatacept

Belatacept (BMS 224818) is a selective T-cell costimulation blocker. Belatacept binds to CD 80/86 ligands and thereby inhibits the CD-28-mediated T-cell costimulation. Belatacept can be used in the research of Immunosuppression in organ transplants[1].

In Vitro	Belatacept (0-5 mg/mL, 1 h) inhibits T-cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner[2]. Belatacept (500 ng/mL, 7 days) enhances predominance of effector-memory T-cells after allogeneic stimulation[2]. Belatacept (100, 500 ng/mL, 7 days) has no effect on differentiation and allogeneic IFNγ production of isolated effector-memory T cells[2]. Belatacept (10 μg/mL, 1 h) does not inhibit follicular T Cell-dependent B-Cell differentiation[4]. Belatacept (40 μg/mL, 10 days) reduces plasmablast differentiation, Ig production, and the major transcription factor Blimp-1 in a T cell-independent manner[5]. Belatacept (40 μg/mL, 30 min) induces activation of the STAT3 transcription factor in stimulated B cells and reduced the expression of CD86[5]. Cell Viability Assay[2] Cell Line: PBMCs from healthy volunteers Concentration: 0-5 mg/mL Incubation Time: 1 h Result: Inhibited T-cell proliferation l with IC50 values of 215 ng/mL, and residual T-cell proliferation (±30%) was still present at high doses. Western Blot Analysis[5] Cell Line: CD40L and IL-21 stimulated B cells Concentration: 40 μg/mL Incubation Time: 15, 30 min Result: Increased in STAT signaling determined by increased STAT3 phosphorylation.
In Vivo	Belatacept (intraperitoneal injection, 60 mg/kg) inhibits ABMR (Antibody-Mediated Rejection), and inhibits acute rejection when combined with BTLA (B and T lymphocyte attenuator) overexpression therapy[3]. Belatacept (intravenous injection, 20 mg/kg) displays immunosuppressive activities in monkeys immunized with sheep red blood cell[6]. Animal Model: Acute rejection model of orthotopic kidney transplantation in rats[3] Dosage: 60 mg/kg Administration: Intraperitoneal injection, at postoperative and 4 days after transplantation. Result: Inhibited creatinine increase after kidney transplantation (combined with BTLA overexpression therapy). Reduced C4d in graft IF staining, and reduced CD138 infiltration and DSA production. Animal Model: Rhesus monkeys immunized with sheep red blood cell[6] Dosage: Intra-operatively 10 mg/kg, on day 4 (15 mg/kg) and on post-operative days 14, 28, 42, 56, 70 (20 mg/kg). Administration: intravenous injection Result: Caused a 50% reduction in the peak anti-SRBC response. Prolonged renal allograft survival and synergies with conventional immunosuppression.
